Ambrose Gwinnett Bierce was an American editorialist, journalist, short story writer, fabulist, and satirist. He made the short story An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge and gathered a humorous wordlist The Devil’s Dictionary. He was a critic of fervor, his motto “Nothing matters”, and his cynical outlook on human nature tagged him as “Bitter Bierce”.

Bierce incited younger writers, such as the poets George Sterling and Herman George Scheffauer and the fiction novelist W. C. Morrow. Bierce made a noticeable form of writing, particularly in his stories. His writing style has a brief start, heavy metaphors, ambiguous sources, definite details, absurd events, and the war themes.

Bierce journeyed to Mexico to experience of the Mexican Revolution. He was said to be voyaging with the rebels, and was not seen again after that.

Bierce was born in a log cabin at Horse Cave Creek in Meigs County, Ohio, to Marcus Aurelius Bierce and Laura Sherwood Bierce. His mother was a kin of William Bradford. His parents were unfortunate but a bookish couple who influenced him for a passion for reading books and writing. Bierce was raised in Kosciusko County, Indiana, and studied high school at the county seat, Warsaw.

He left home at an early age to become a printer’s devil at a small Ohio publication. He was best known as a journalist than as a novelist. His famous writings were written in a very quick course and was described as “a tremendous burst of consummate art”. His texts mostly depict the world’s mystery and the ridiculous sense of mortality.
